Actions describe how a target component is generated from the source components.
Actions are text lines which are specified in the make substatements SET-DEPENDENCY or SET-STD-ACTION. These text lines are transferred unchanged into the procedure specified in the BEGIN-MAKE statement.
Each action has its own line in the procedure. This makes it possible to specify two or more lines (actions) for a single component. Users formulating make statements must themselves take care of continuation lines within actions.
In the SET-STD-ACTION substatement, you can specify standard actions which use source components of a specific type to generate target components of a different type. These standard actions can be referenced in the SET-DEPENDENCY statement.
